Chapter 1039 The Truth Will Eventually Surface


    Kaltan had encorcined malevoler squirts before and logically shouldn’t fear anything. However, the crow before him involuntarily inspired fear


    par had once said that they should be respectful in such situations.


    Kolton bowed respectfully to the crow in front of everyone. “I apologize for any offense.”


    “Mr. Pennington, what are you doing?” someone asked, puzzled.


    Kolton couldn’t quite understand his own feelings but exined, “This crow is extraordinary.<i>”</i>


    “Extraordinary?” The others trusted Kolton’s judgment. Seeing his respect, they followed suit.


    Most bizarrely, the crow acknowledged their bow. He strutted a couple of steps with his head held high.


    Albert was surprised. “Wynter, that crow…”


    “He indeed has quite a background.” Wynter touched her chin. “This seems quite effective.”


    The look in her eyes suggested she was thinking about something else.


    When the crow noticed Wynter’s gaze, he stopped his strut. He reverted to a nk–eyed state, pretending to be an ordinary crow.


    This would be easier to exin to Dalton that he was not to me. It was Mt. Dragon’s cultivator’s fault


    for exposing him.


    Seeing this, Wynter’s smile deepened. With a tap of her finger, a copper coin disappeared into the ground.


    The circle vanished, and the crow pped his wings, perching on a branch. The onlookers were amazed.


    Wynter nced at the crow again.


    Understanding her intent, the crow descended once more and pecked at the ground with his beak. He let


    out a “caw” and went back to perching on the branch.


    His eyes were unflinchingly fixed on the spectators, as though he were waiting for them to start the ritual.


    Kolton was nowpelled to act. “Since it’s an omen given by the crow, if we don’t dig this up,


    misfortune will befall everyone here.”


    After saying that, he nced at Den. “Mr. Den, I must proceed.”


    With those words, Kolton confidently performed the ritual while murmuring some chants.


    As they dug deeper, the clouds in the sky began to change. They seemed to carry booming thunder with


    them.


    At this moment, Kolton’s expression changed drastically. “This isn’t just a matter of spirits. It’s… It’s…”


    Though curious, the rtives dared not ask, feeling the eerie atmosphere. Was this weather change a normal urrence?


    Among the crowd<b>, </b>only Wynter stood tall andposed, her eyes shining.


    She had vowed to Gordon that she would let him be unearthed gloriously under everyone’s eyes<b>, </b>and she <b>had </b>seeded.


    Kolton’s words echoed with the first p of thunder. “The spirits are all trapped underground. This isn’t just affecting the geomancy. T–This is an Earthbound Formation!”


    Kolton trembled. He couldn’t believe that he had encountered an Earthbound Formation at Quinnell Vi.


    He had been in such formations before, but it was always under Kaspar’s guidance.


    Earthbound Formations weren’t formed overnight. Novices entering such formations risked bing nourishment for the formation master. That was why they always ventured in groups of five.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Now, Kolton was alone.


    Moreover, the resentment stirred by this Earthbound Formation had an impact for miles around, even altering the weather.


    Gritting his teeth, Kolton instinctively wanted to call for assistance. He texted Kaspar about the situation.


    But as he dug another inch, his eyes widened. “Someone has actually broken this formation. Who could it be<b>?</b><b>”</b>


    He turned to look at Den.


    Den’s eyes turned cold. The formation had been broken? How was that possible? But there was no other exnation, as the sky was filled with nothing except thunder.


    The spirits bound in the formation began ascending into the air.


    It was then that the cremation urn was exposed.
